FAQs
What is the primary intended use for the Pureboost 5 trainers?
The Pureboost 5 trainers are designed for versatile use, including everyday wear, walking, and light fitness activities. They are not specialized for high-performance running or specific sports.
How do I determine the correct size?
These trainers are listed in UK men's sizes. Refer to standard sizing charts for adult men's footwear and consider trying them on if possible, or consult the brand's specific sizing guide.
Can these shoes be used for long-distance running?
While they offer good cushioning, the 10 mm midsole drop and general design make them more suitable for shorter runs or lighter training rather than long-distance, high-mileage running.
What does 'contains at least 20% recycled content' mean?
This indicates that a significant portion of the shoe's materials have been repurposed or reclaimed, reducing the environmental impact compared to using entirely virgin materials.
How does the BOOST midsole differ from other cushioning technologies?
BOOST is known for its exceptional energy return, providing a responsive and comfortable feel that helps reduce fatigue over time, unlike some foams that can feel dead or overly soft.
Are these trainers waterproof?
The engineered mesh upper is breathable but not waterproof. They are suitable for dry conditions, but may not keep feet dry in heavy rain or wet environments.
Troubleshooting
Laces are difficult to adjust for a secure fit.
Ensure the laces are threaded through all eyelets correctly and are not tangled. Try re-lacing the shoes from scratch if necessary.
Shoes feel stiff or uncomfortable after initial wear.
The engineered mesh and BOOST midsole may require a short break-in period. Wear them for short durations initially and gradually increase wear time.
Traction feels reduced on wet surfaces.
The Adiwear outsole offers durability but may have reduced grip on extremely wet or slippery surfaces. Exercise caution in such conditions.
Noticeable wear on the outsole after moderate use.
While Adiwear is durable, excessive wear can occur with very high-impact activities or abrasive surfaces. Ensure the shoes are used for their intended purpose.

Care: To maintain the condition of your Pureboost 5 trainers:
